1. Describe the purpose of each financial statement. Determine which one (1) is the most effective in communicating the financial health of an organization. Defend your position.
Income Statement presents revenues and expenses and resulting net income or net loss for a specific time period.
Owner’s Equity Statement is a summary of the changes in the owner’s equity for a period of time.
Balance Sheet reports all assets, liabilities and owner’s equity at a specific date.
Statement of Cash Flows is a summary of information about cash inflows (receipts) and outflows (payments) for a specific time period.
In my opinion the statement of cash flows is the most effective in communicating the health of an organization. It lists all of the money that comes in and out of the business to keep it running, from revenue to net profit/ loss. Most people who would consider investing in a business would like to see this statement. In the event I was in the market for investing in an organization or business, I would want to see all of the previously stated financial statements.

...improvement or research.
In the world of innovation, accountants & their contribution are one of the least appreciated. A success/failure of an innovation project is credited to the project manager or product manager or the development manager, but rarely the name of finance controller/accountant are even mentioned - sad but true.
The reason for this apathy is really simple: Engineers or product managers or development managers are far disconnected from the world of finance &accounting departments, that they really have no clue about the actual numbers. The problem is more acute in large companies, where functions and roles are so widely distributed that the development/product manager has no clue as where the accountant works! Added to the organizational complexity, there is a natural tendency among engineers to focus on the product - rather than monitor the expense accounts. Many engineers also find it extremely challenging to read an account books.
Accounting is a very important function
The role of the accountant is to maintain records of all expenses, keep financial checks and balances within the organization. All the great innovation ideas and projects can vanish in the wake of an accountant’s recommendation - So never underestimate the power of the accountant. Accountants control the money taps - they can turn it on or off.
